A murderous and apparently premeditated assault has been committed at Greta by [[Patrick Quinn|Pat]] and [[Jimmy Quinn|Jim]] Quinn, mates of the notorious Power, the bushranger, and uncles of Young Kelly, who was under arrest recently on suspicion of being an accomplice of Power's. The victims are Senior-constable [[Hall|Hall]] and Constable Archdeacon, stationed at [[Greta|Greta]]. Pat Quinn was arrested yesterday by Mounted-constables Arthur and Davis, after a hard chase. The Wangaratta police are in pursuit of the other miscreant, Jim Quinn, who has done a sentence of two or three years in Pentridge. Hall was knocked senseless by Jim Quinn with a blow of a stirrup-iron while he - Hall - was handcuffing Quinn's brother. The two then attacked Archdeacon, and nearly killed him. He is out of danger, but has got a frightful scalp wound. The police station has been only recently established at Greta to prevent cattle duffing, which has been carried on to a considerable extent in that vicinity.
